Last night was the second lesson for one of my piano students. It was the second lesson for a 4-year old, so its bound to be a little unnerving but because Brynnlee was a maniac that made it just that much worse.
Lately she has been crying ALL the time. What happens between 15 and 18 months? I think kids just go crazy. At least mine do. I remember Kaden going through this and already being pregnant. All I kept thinging was "What have I got myself into?"
So basically last night Brynnlee screamed at the top of her lungs while I tried to hold her as she flailed about and give instructions to a patient little girl on the proper fingering postitions for this weeks assignment: SUPER FUN.
Hopefully Jeremy won't be detained at work next week... I think I'm about filled to capacity on my 'patience building experiences'.
Heather, I too am constantly struggling with patience. I admire you for teaching piano to such a young pupil, that to me shows tremendous patience!
ReplyDeleteI have finally figured out that you have a blog, sorry it took me so long. Way to go with the piano lessons. Conner should be starting his in the next couple of months.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea you taught piano! Don't you love those moments when you cannot stop what you are doing so you just have to do it with a screaming child? Those are the best!
ReplyDeleteEverytime you write a blog about Brynnlee, it drags me back in time, to Tia's energetic toddler years! Call me if you ever need to vent! I definally don't have any answers, but I "have been there done that"!
